SOLUTION BRIEF

ENABLING YOUR SMALL BUSINESSSecure Yet Simple Information Technology

It all started with a couple of people, a couple computers and a good idea. Now you have a growing company with employees, an office, and a range of business systems. One key to your success will be continued agility and efficiency as you scale your operation. And that will only be possible if those systems are secure yet accessible to your employees - anytime, anywhere. In fact, a recent survey of small business owners found that two-thirds view Information Technology (IT) and security as critical to their business and think about it all the time1!

However IT is constantly changing, with BYOD, more connected devices and wireless access creating new infrastructure demands. As is the threat landscape, conducting more than 1600 cyberthreat assessments in 2016, Fortinet found that the average small business was compromised by 4 pieces of active malware. (Fortinet Cyberthreat Assessment Program, 2016)

That’s where Fortinet can help. Specifically, Fortinet Connected UTM for small offices delivers all of the access and security technologies a growing business needs in a solution that is easy to use and affordable.

TRADITIONAL UNIFIED THREAT MANAGEMENT

Typically, smaller businesses will be using a Unified Threat Management (UTM) solution, defined in the Gartner IT Glossary as a converged platform of point security products, particularly suited to small and midsize businesses (SMBs). Typical feature sets fall into three main categories on one

device: firewall/intrusion prevention system (IPS)/virtual private network, secure Web gateway security (URL filtering and Web antivirus) and messaging security (anti-spam, mail AV). In this manner, they are able to simplify the complexity of enterprise-class security and bolster protection of their business despite limited budgets and staff.

NEW COMPLEXITY EMERGES

However, as organizations have grown and/or technology has continued to evolve, IT has become more complicated. Whether it is wireless access points providing connectivity to an increasingly mobile, multi-device workforce, additional wired switching to support more connected devices in the workplace, or the rise of cloud services, today’s small business networks have grown much more complicated – with a patchwork of components from various vendors. In fact, 60% of small business owners reported they use a mix of IT (whether on premise or in the cloud) from multiple vendors.

At the same time, the threat landscape continues to evolve with new attack avenues and techniques. While 2015 was clearly dominated by web application attacks again, the year prior was dominated by Point of Sale (POS) compromises. And early indications are that 2016 will be remembered as the year of ransomware.

And the 2016 Verizon report indicated that the vast majority of malware found was unique to the organization and seen for only 58 seconds or less. As a result of these trends, security technologies continue to evolve and a growing emphasis is currently placed on measures like web application firewall and sandboxing.
